For the first time, the North Carolina Museum of Art (in Raleigh, hey RALtoday) and the North Carolina Museum of Art, Winston-Salem (formerly SECCA) will bring together a shared exhibit to examine the blending of spiritual practices and innovations in Southern culture.
From “Alpha to Creation: Religion in the Deep South” will reflect racial, political, and economic structures, and rituals that trace as far back as precontact Indigenous societies.
